Kernel: Replace inline assembly for turning on IA32_EFER.NXE with MSR

Browse source 
This fixes a triple fault that occurs when compiling serenity with
the i686 clang toolchain. (The underlying issue is that the old inline
assembly did not specify that it clobbered the eax/ecx/edx registers
and as such the compiler assumed they were not changed and used their
values across it)
